i am party responsible for so many wu kongs. as i hunt newbie players and give them a wu kong prime set. so far i given out over 80 sets, last year. Also just stumbled on to your content. love it, sub
If I had a nickel for every exalted melee that is held back by its stance, I'd have three nickels. Which is a lot when only 3 videos have been released
@@Roundtable-1 Garudas Talons aren't really a true exalted melee to begin with. In most respects, they work like a regular melee, albeit one that is exclusively accessed through Garuda's passive.
The forward lunge attack extends the staff range to 30 meters scaling with range mods, making it basically a “hit that sucker across the map” move for a melee weapon.
It can very easily turn into a "fuck you in particular" move. You can even turn wukong while doing the animation and get a nice 20° degree angle death cone in front of him. Its fun for movement too
"Pablo has said in the past that he doesn't plan on buffing characters that are already over represented." Fs in chat for all the Titania players that want Tribute to get the nourish treatment.
@zwadveg918 I just like actually playing Titania instead of just using her as the designated speedrun bitch frame. I'd change her passive to be a weaker molt reconstruct. Like 1 or 2 health per energy point so it's not pointless. Tribute given the nourish thing of compressing all the effects into one cast. Kills enemies in Razorwing doesn't just heal the butterflies but will revive them too. Or they could make them invulnerable, I'd happily take that too.
That’s my issue with this game’s balance. Plenty of good frames need changes that they’ll never get. Nekros doesn’t have a 1, and Atlas has 2 abilities. Even if Atlas isn’t over represented, I’m sure plenty of people play Banshee, and her kit is riddled with issues.
The annoying thing is, while I don't think Titania is a bad frame by any means, 99% of her over representation is speedrunning fissures. I'd rather have her be more fun and strong for all kinds of content that being the go-to frame for one game mode.
While I appreciate every jab at For Honor after 1700 hours, the game's hit boxes aren't as atrocious as... whatever the fuck windmill you were showing off with Wukong lmao! Still, deserved. Great video!
I've never been interested in wukong (as a warframe) bc im tired of the monkey man showing up everywhere, but finding out that range makes his stick larger is funny enough for me to consider getting him at some point lmao
Nice video and I also think his staff is very underrated, especially ever since Galvanized mods dropped. One thing you forgot to mention; there is a synergy of using Archon Continuity and toxin on Iron Staff since that allows you to proc corrosive along with toxin. I used to use viral + heat before but after finding this synergy I've been rocking blast and toxin build on the staff and its hilariously strong. Get some viral procs from any source of your choosing on top of all of that and man, the staff is just disgusting.
I use that same strat on Excalibur, and because of chromatic blade you can get toxin AND corrosive on an unmodded exalted blade. Archon cont. is just immensly helpful for exalted weapons in general, Knightmareframe was out of his mind when he said it was a bad mod
fun fact: it misses a lot because the hitbox follows his wonky ass animation, if you angled the camera to the side with the combo at 5:34 for an example, you will hit the target
This thing is a monstrosity on a Naramon Crit build. You can easily get rapid fire orange and red crits while chewing their armor off, and slaughtering tons of foes. Toss in Celestial Twin and you're an Army of Two.
I was sleeping on his staff for the longest time. I had changed it to eclipse so that I could get a ton more survivability. But then I switched it to celestial twin and began using the staff and holy shit, that thing's good.
A quarter of the new characters make the rest of the characters obsolete, mained Lawbringer and Warden from release up until almost a year ago cus no matter how well I play I’d be much better off playing one of the new characters that are simply a direct upgrade Legit gets exhausting the amount of work you have to do as a character you like just.to meet the easy bare minimum that another character can do
I must speak up for Lycath's Hunt as not just being an Equilibrium Boost, but an enabler of Arcane Blessing and Health Conversion. The extra health and armour on a warframe that can heal while invulnerable is quite nice. Maybe not level cap nice, but more than enough for an hour of steel path survival. With Deny and Wukong Prime's armour, he gets 1790 total armour before mods, or nearly 7x his shown hp in ehp. With Health Conversion, it goes to 3140, or nearly 11.5x listed hp value in hp. That's more than a 1.6x gain, certainly worthwhile.
Shattering Impact does not stack with corrosive status. They function differently. Shattering Impact remove your enemy base armor, while corrosive status reduce your opponent total armor, and then heat strip enemy current armor by halves. Corrosive and heat can works well together, removing up to 90% total armor. Shattering Impact will ignore total armor value, so the mod does not go well with corrosive.
I just wish cloudwalker slam was its own ability attack so people would stop arca titron torid spamming. On top of its movement speed being so fast that you get cucked in every spy mission ever by a cloud you don't even see. His stick though? Love that to bits.
I might have missed it in the video, but worth noting Melee Exposure on your melee weapon is also applied to Iron Staff. Personally I use it with Nourish since it lets you do a lot more with the mods on Iron Staff.
DE should check what is the reason for the high pick rate. The reason why the pick rate is high is because it is used in spy missions or used with magistar which is used in heavy slam and is mostly found in asia. If DE uses this logic, then imagine that qorvex or oberon can be used for heavy slam better than wukong and make these 2 warframes have higher pick rate even though their skills are quite bad and should be improved but the improvement is rejected because the pick rate is high just because it is used for heavy slam without caring about its failed gameplay. RIP.
Yeah, if the only thing they're doing is checking numbers, and not viewing *how* they're used, that worries me, because they miss minutiae of WHY certain frames are used, like, chroma mostly only for cred farming in PT thanks to effigy m, or as another comment noted, Titania basically being a relic speedrun frame in void capture
@@bluegem8582 Wukong is a warframe that has a very difficult time surviving in high level missions. In my experience, my passive triggered twice within the first 5 minutes from being oneshotted by Thrax with a laser. This is not a good sign. His skills have problems without helmint. This is a very poor warframe because it is used only for heavy slams that use cloudwalker every 0.1 seconds until the player is brain dead. If not used in boring builds or spy missions, the pick rate will go back to being as low as Qorvex. Instead of DE encouraging more creative gameplay, DE jumps for joy like lazy people who care more about KPI than gameplay experience that "hey there's a high pick rate, we don't need to fix it". 💀💀💀
Me the Valkyr claws enjoyer wondering why the hell Valkyr's outdated kit has never been reworked, but Frost and Ember have had at least 4 reworks to their abilities now.
Missing attacks like its for honor is the best comparison ever. I was not expectinga warframe video to mention one of the most annoying games ever (i have over 200 reps and i still play it🙏😭)
I have no idea what's causing this, they work fine in the description but not in the actual playbar. EDIT: looks like there was a typo that made one chapter start too early, fixed.
My beef with wukong is how he's almost always included in games (black myth doesn't count b/c it's a game _about_ him) as to guarantee sales to the Chinese market. He's _always_ over the top compared to other characters. _He's a glorified marketing ploy_ (At _least_ in Warframe they strayed from the 'monkey' king aspect)
Sorry for the probably misinformed question. But is this series only going to cover the exalted melee weapons thus excluding exaulted primaries and secondaries like the Redeemers, Artemis bow, Dex Pixia, Balefire, Noctua, Glory and Neutralizer? I'm asking this question because I was relatively sure Mesa released before Wukong unless I'm miss remembering. Either way im loving this series! I didnt think I could still be learning interesting details about this game after playing it for nearly a decade. Loving your work so far!
I will be covering the Exalted guns, but I want to get through the melees first to make things easier to organize for myself. After this episode we'll do Desert Wind and Exalted Shadow, and then Razorwing will serve as the transition between the two categories.

great vid! as a long time melee wukong main (who has never used one of the cheese strats because they're bad and boring) I've always wanted to make a build around the staff, but the main problem has never been that the staff as bad, jsut htat there are a ton of melee weapons that can easily outclass it in almost every way. I use the twin to spread stat with a good high range many stat weapon built specifically to work for him. honestly, i think you could make a video like this going over how the twin works and giving advice on how to build weapons for them because i see a lot of people not realize that most buffs don't apply to the twin. anyways, i'm currently using dual ichor incarnon with a magnetic/toxin build and nearly full gladiator set, 5 melee crit violet shards, and a riven, and long story short, every hit is red and at least 6 digits, and usually pull enemies towards me in clumps. wukong is neat because his kit is very low energy, but also, his 1 only gets used if you fall off an edge, his 2 and 3 are used to escape tricky situations, and if you're not using the staff, the 4 can be whatever you want. because his kit is low energy and not used too often if you're playing well, you really don't have to build for ability use or energy economy, leaving you able to just kinda go ham with whatever you want. full umbral and gladiator, flow (for the violet shards), and continuity to add some range on the cloud, and there's still a couple slots open for stuff. great way to test out some of the weird and lesser used mods/mod sets since you can set him up to be tanky enough to survive high levels with plenty of extra slots left over.
Honestly, I gave into the Wukong hate bandwagon, then me and my friend tried him and realized, yeah, hes fun as shit I get the appeal, been having tons of fun with him
They never actually removed animation cancelling heavy slams on other frames, so I imagine the fix was just lowering the priority on Cloud Walker. I actually use Nova with Infested Mobility since she can cancel the animation with Null Star and Wormhole. Pull Slamkong 🤔
Iron staff looks really cool. Very nice video! I enjoy how much effort and testing you put into these videos to help us learn :3 Its just a shame that Slam Kong is still a plague over here in the Asia region. Seriously, loading into a void fissure exterminate as Wisp while my other teammates are rocking Wukong with the Sancti Magistar, Arca Titron, or whatever else hammer 90% of the time I just cant play the game lol
@@SasamiTMI would say no, because you don't activate an ability to summon Garuda Talons. It's an option if you don't have a melee. I'd call it a semi-exalted and would fit more in line with stat sticks.
@@Xul-Xata Garuda Claws are in a really weird spot categorization-wise. They aren't from an Ability, they don't scale their Base Damage off Ability Strength, they take a normal stance, they don't have the Acolyte Mod restriction, and are removed in weapon-restricted Sorties. But they're also not a normal weapon either, since they don't have an Arcane Slot and are listed as part of her Passive. This is why generally Garuda Talons are considered their own thing and specifically called out when relevant.
Wukong was the orginal brain off warframe for an unkillable weapons platform before Mesmir skin was just flat out "hey you literally cannot die" in veilbreaker. And some people really don't like these types of characters even existing.
Cant rait to see one on Baruuk 👀 He's been my main for a year and a half and (imo) has the bes exalted on the game, especially with its augment. The intricacies on it are...weird, however. Like you can build up combo on incarnon weapons with all the gladiator mods, then activate his exalted and transfer the damage increases to like a pseudo exalted....as long as you don't actually hit enemies with the fist itself because for some reason, increasing the Fist's combo count stops that all from workkng(?) Someone made a looooong youtube video about him explaining it better (and to be honest I barely understand it. I just know enough on how to keep his red crits going) Hopefully your video on him will clear that up
I vehemently refuse to helminth over big stick on Wukong, i prefer to not remove the core mechanic of any character i play. Helminths imo are meant to supplement gameplay, not entirely change it
I use wukong, A LOT, and it's always funny to me how people say wukong doesn't let them play the game, but when an ogris mirage is killing 99.99% of mobs in arbitration or saryn killing everything in a survival or a thermal sunder titania cleaning an extermination ebfore anybody has the chance of even seeing a single enemy... nobody complains. People do be hating on my monkey king :(
Wukong is a frame where doing a rework makes a bad frame to an absolutely amazing frame, one word "fun." Though I haven't tested yet but I wonder if wrathful advance works with iron staff. Also great music too listen.
I feel Pablo´s stance on some things is a bane to warframe´s variety. Having a frame be played a lot doesn´t mean he can´t be more. Like the example is staring us in the face; the Slam meta on him got nerfed, and his clone got nerfed because other things could be more usefull. A prime example is Volt´s shock; the absolute worst ability by itself. an augment transforms it into a buff, but the ability stays bad compared to his weapons-platform and Terrify Discharge, or the new Kavat corrosion. Frost being like, he has 2 abilities that just are a worse version of his 4, doing the same thing with less range. Idk maybe these are weak examples, anyone got better ones?
Honest opinion: Iron Staff doesn’t need a gimmick. Exalted Blade’s waves are practically useless unless you’re attacking a Scaldra Balloon or are in a mob (and that’s where Melee shines anyway). Valkyr’s Talons’ invincibility has a major drawback that’s just as likely to kill you as an enemy is, if you’re not careful. Desert Storm has a push-&-pull mechanic that you need to be mindful of to make sure you don’t yeet when you intend to yoink. So Iron Staff having very little gimmick is honestly fine IMHO. A weapon that’s summoned on command and is just a good weapon? That’s perfectly fine. Don’t understand why it has to be more than that.
If y'all wanna kill Slamkongs, equip Empowered Blades aura mod. They die due to slam spam and getting their shields removed, also removing shield gate.
you did not mention that the forward block combo opening jab can hit people at unusually ranges. Is it useful and does it synergize with a melee focused ability, probably not. doesn't come up often and it is hard to aim it with all of the motion associated.
Hey all, just wanted to mention I mistakenly said Cold status increased critical chance, but I meant critical damage and misspoke.

wukong is neat because his kit is very low energy, but also, his 1 only gets used if you fall off an edge, his 2 and 3 are used to escape tricky situations, and if you're not using the staff, the 4 can be whatever you want. because his kit is low energy and not used too often if you're playing well, you really don't have to build for ability use or energy economy, leaving you able to just kinda go ham with whatever you want. full umbral and gladiator, flow (for the violet shards), and continuity to add some range on the cloud, and there's still a couple slots open for stuff. great way to test out some of the weird and lesser used mods/mod sets since you can set him up to be tanky enough to survive high levels with plenty of extra slots left over.
15:05 weird cut/unused? enemy jumpscare.
Rule#1: Don't disturb the Pablo XD
Honestly, I gave into the Wukong hate bandwagon, then me and my friend tried him and realized, yeah, hes fun as shit I get the appeal, been having tons of fun with him
Cool vid bro.😺
They never actually removed animation cancelling heavy slams on other frames, so I imagine the fix was just lowering the priority on Cloud Walker. I actually use Nova with Infested Mobility since she can cancel the animation with Null Star and Wormhole.
Pull Slamkong 🤔
What Is the blue shoulder armor that is like a geyser on blue wukong?
It's the Oni Prime ephemera, which was part of Grendel Prime Access.
Iron staff looks really cool. Very nice video! I enjoy how much effort and testing you put into these videos to help us learn :3
Its just a shame that Slam Kong is still a plague over here in the Asia region. Seriously, loading into a void fissure exterminate as Wisp while my other teammates are rocking Wukong with the Sancti Magistar, Arca Titron, or whatever else hammer 90% of the time I just cant play the game lol
I’m so sorry you played for honor. May your recovery be swift and gentle
5:27 For Honor R.I.P.
Can’t wait for Garuda episode, good job!
Does she count? She’s maybe my favorite but are her claws really “exalted”
@@SasamiTMI would say no, because you don't activate an ability to summon Garuda Talons. It's an option if you don't have a melee. I'd call it a semi-exalted and would fit more in line with stat sticks.
Garuda Talon will contribute full affinity to Garuda herself just like exalted weapon does, so her talon does fit in exalted weapon category.
@@Xul-Xata Garuda Claws are in a really weird spot categorization-wise. They aren't from an Ability, they don't scale their Base Damage off Ability Strength, they take a normal stance, they don't have the Acolyte Mod restriction, and are removed in weapon-restricted Sorties. But they're also not a normal weapon either, since they don't have an Arcane Slot and are listed as part of her Passive. This is why generally Garuda Talons are considered their own thing and specifically called out when relevant.
Shoutouts to Crimson_King
3 videos in and I still don't know which alternate abilities are changed to become ex-alted
I swear this pun sounded better in my head
Got carried to my first endless cascade by a slammin monke
I have entire iron staff build adapted from AZNvasions
Wait, there's drama with Wukong? Man am I an isolated individual
There’s Wukong community drama? The monkey is cancelled? I had no idea.
Wukong was the orginal brain off warframe for an unkillable weapons platform before Mesmir skin was just flat out "hey you literally cannot die" in veilbreaker. And some people really don't like these types of characters even existing.
Cant rait to see one on Baruuk 👀
He's been my main for a year and a half and (imo) has the bes exalted on the game, especially with its augment.
The intricacies on it are...weird, however. Like you can build up combo on incarnon weapons with all the gladiator mods, then activate his exalted and transfer the damage increases to like a pseudo exalted....as long as you don't actually hit enemies with the fist itself because for some reason, increasing the Fist's combo count stops that all from workkng(?)
Someone made a looooong youtube video about him explaining it better (and to be honest I barely understand it. I just know enough on how to keep his red crits going)
Hopefully your video on him will clear that up
I vehemently refuse to helminth over big stick on Wukong, i prefer to not remove the core mechanic of any character i play. Helminths imo are meant to supplement gameplay, not entirely change it
I use wukong, A LOT, and it's always funny to me how people say wukong doesn't let them play the game, but when an ogris mirage is killing 99.99% of mobs in arbitration or saryn killing everything in a survival or a thermal sunder titania cleaning an extermination ebfore anybody has the chance of even seeing a single enemy... nobody complains.
People do be hating on my monkey king :(
Wukong is a frame where doing a rework makes a bad frame to an absolutely amazing frame, one word "fun."
Though I haven't tested yet but I wonder if wrathful advance works with iron staff.
Also great music too listen.
Shhhhh
Begging for you to cover Sevagoth next🙏🙏🙏🙏 He got me into warframe and was my first main(I bought him back when he dropped lol)
I feel Pablo´s stance on some things is a bane to warframe´s variety.
Having a frame be played a lot doesn´t mean he can´t be more. Like the example is staring us in the face; the Slam meta on him got nerfed, and his clone got nerfed because other things could be more usefull.
A prime example is Volt´s shock; the absolute worst ability by itself. an augment transforms it into a buff, but the ability stays bad compared to his weapons-platform and Terrify Discharge, or the new Kavat corrosion.
Frost being like, he has 2 abilities that just are a worse version of his 4, doing the same thing with less range.
Idk maybe these are weak examples, anyone got better ones?
Can’t wait for Sevagoth
The central gimmick of Primal Fury is Wukong.
Personally, I like it, but I am a dude, and therefore am existentially obligated to like nice sticks.
Honest opinion: Iron Staff doesn’t need a gimmick.
Exalted Blade’s waves are practically useless unless you’re attacking a Scaldra Balloon or are in a mob (and that’s where Melee shines anyway).
Valkyr’s Talons’ invincibility has a major drawback that’s just as likely to kill you as an enemy is, if you’re not careful.
Desert Storm has a push-&-pull mechanic that you need to be mindful of to make sure you don’t yeet when you intend to yoink.
So Iron Staff having very little gimmick is honestly fine IMHO. A weapon that’s summoned on command and is just a good weapon? That’s perfectly fine. Don’t understand why it has to be more than that.
His big stick and mini vortex is pretty fun
@@kvab24 Like me Big Stick. Big Stick succ. Big Stick bonk. Simple as.
iron bonk. i love wudonk prime
If y'all wanna kill Slamkongs, equip Empowered Blades aura mod. They die due to slam spam and getting their shields removed, also removing shield gate.
you did not mention that the forward block combo opening jab can hit people at unusually ranges. Is it useful and does it synergize with a melee focused ability, probably not. doesn't come up often and it is hard to aim it with all of the motion associated.
If critical chance for it is limited at 150%... Primal Rage + Wrathful advance aren't actually overkill?
What did sun wu kong do with the kuva zarr between 1939-1945?
I like wukong, big stick, selfcest UwU
